even when I was still at #PyConUS, #Monsterdon was on my mind
(no, 'crites' is not valid under the dictionary at play in this game, I did it for the post)
Prompted by a conversation I had on here earlier and recently IRL at #PyConUS and at DjangoCon Europe.
I wanted to share some tips I give to junior developers.
✅ Look local first.
Easier to land, and you get mentored in person. Chase remote later.
✅ Be tech agnostic.
Two years with a stack you don't love beats another year of no offers.
✅ Reverse engineer your job search. Target companies that already employ juniors and reach out direct.

Every #OpenSource project is experiencing approximately this volume. During #PyConUS I shared that the Python Security Response Team is experiencing 4X the number of reports and advisories compared to last year, graph included in reply.
It looks like a good idea for other PyCons https://fosstodon.org/@pyconde/116679693614443164 @pyconde #pycon
Some news I'm excited to finally share...
@foxleytalent is SPONSORING DjangoCon US again this year.
That's 4 years running now. 🦄🦊🇺🇲
To go with this announcement, I've written a blog post about why I keep sponsoring and attending conferences.

🐍🤡 Apparently, attending PyCon US is all about flaunting your booth #swag and pretending #Python is morphing into Pinyin—because nothing screams "cutting-edge tech" like handing out stickers and discussing #AI in every. single. conversation. 🤖💬

May Status Update: May was dominated by #PyConUS, where the BeeWare team ran another successful sprint, resulting in a number of improvements - many from first time contributors.
Does #europython have games and #LobbyCon like #PyConUS ? 🤔This is critical information. 😁
And here are the last ones from the day 😄📸
Just like every year, one of the best parts of PyCon Italia was meeting so many people from the community 🐍✨
Thank you to everyone who stopped for a chat, shared a story, an idea, or simply a few minutes together.
And an extra thank you to all the people who kindly agreed to be part of yet another one of my conference selfies 😄📸
Here are some of today's!
